I meditate for 25 minutes, let out my dog, make my coffee and then play piano.

It's worth investing a few minutes or few hours finding out when so much is on the line. 

Unless you supply the 3M ones I guarantee the tenants are going to use the Dollar Store ones that leave torn paper everywhere. 

Jay I still have one of those books hanging around.

I live about 20-25 minutes away in Bloomfield Township (Lake Geneva mailing address) and have a rental in Delavan.
